Well, we have the same game selling much more on "crippled" platforms than on PC despite higher install base and cheaper price. If you want to say that without DRM it would be selling even better you have to present some proof. For example, what would have happened if a console's DRM had been cracked in a way that everyone could download game ISOs and play without doing complicated modifications to the hardware like they can on PC? Why, this has actually happened to Dreamcast. Its title sales have not increased because of this, in fact, it has tanked so much that Sega has retired it soon after this happened. But, of course, Sega is run by some reality-ignoring cretins, their sales actually increased, right?
>Not at all. The later category stays a non paying customer, since why should they buy the same thing with DRM when pirates offer them it without it?
Pirates are not offering the PS4 and X1 games without DRM. Please, talk about something you know.

It will be broken as well, don't worry. No DRM will ever be unbrekable, that's the nature of it. Of course the more intrusive garbage they pile into it, the longer it can take to crack it. PS4 and XB1 won't be an exception though.
